Had it happen last week with a batter.
The catcher said, "Hey boy quit stealing my sings". I kinda smiled. Then the batter struck out or poped up I don't remember.
The catcher turned to me and asked "Did you see that guy stealing my signs?" I said "yeah, and a lot of good it did, he is on the bench." The catcher laughed.
So the next time the batter comes up, the catcher says, "Well here comes nosey" So I call time brush the plate and look dead into the catcher's eyes. He smiled and got the message.
No high and tight, I beleive the kid stuck out.
I agree that stealing signs is part of the game. And getting caught can have some bad results.
But if those bad results happen, ejection is the rule.
